IMPROVEMENT lN CHU RNS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 40,997, dated December 22, 1863.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1,8. F. EMERSON, of Seville, in the county of Medina and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ohurns; and I do hereby declare that the followingis afull and complete description of the construction and operation of the same, relerenee being bad to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specifieaton. in which- Figure 1 is a side view. Fig. 2 is an end view. Fig. 3 is a top view, and'Fig'. 4 is a longitudinal vertical section.

Like letters refer to like parts.

My invention relates to the pivoted vibrating box, segment, and segmental gear, in combination with pivoted vibrating heaters, whereby an oscillating or vibrating motion of the box will cause a reverse vibration in the heaters.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents the box or body of the churn. This is supported upon the legs B by means of the pivots O 0. Upon one pair of legs, as seen in Fig. 1, and above the support for the pivot G, is a segment, D, provided with teeth or cogs, which correspond with and gear into another segment, E, shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3. The beater-shaft is shown at F, and to which the segment E is attached. The radiiof these segmental gears are such that the vibration of the box A, which carries the segment E, caust s a corresponding vibration in the opposite direction of the heaters G, as indicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 4, by means of which the cream, by its gravity, is brought into violent contact with the heaters moving with like velocity in the opposite direction, producing thereby the desired result. One end of the shaft F is supported by the screw H, while the opposite end, to which the segment E is attached, is supported by the hearing I. By loosening the screw H the heaters and shaft can he removed, and the body of the churn thus left free for the working and removal of the butter. The cover of the churn, seen in place at J, can he removed by turning back the hinged handles K.

What I claim as my improvement, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- Arranging the vibrating dasher-shaft at the top if the swinging box A, said shaft being provided with the pinion E, in combination with the segment-gear D, the whole being constructed and operatiu g as and for the purpose set forth.
